We have so-o many grackles here in Texas.
According to this Grackle Top Ten, a group of grackles is called a "plague" or "annoyance" of grackles. They do love to congregate in large groups, especially at twilight. I love the sound of them though. I don't find them annoying at all. They are often right around traffic and shopping areas, so you can roll your window down while driving and listen to them chirp and call and flock together. I took the below picture near a Starbucks. That tree is absolutely stuffed full of long-tailed grackles.
Phillip and I had a little snack at Bird Bakery in Alamo Heights. It's a cute shop.
I think Liz' cupcakes are better though. :-)
We met up with Mimi and Papa in Alice, TX last Saturday. It's fun to be able to do that! Florida was so far from family ~ I'm grateful that we've gotten so much time with family living here in Texas.
For Papa's birthday, we eat at a Mexican restaurant, take a walk around Walmart, go to a park and end at Whataburger for a cool drink or shake.
We love you, Papa!
